Review: OpenOffice.org 2.4.0
Aug 6th, 2008 | By David Harper | Category: ProductsZDNet Australia: OpenOffice.org 2.4.0 is a free, open source alternative to Microsoft’s Office application suite. It is fantastic if you need basic office applications — such as a word processor or spreadsheet — at no cost. However, large organisations and power users may be disappointed by its lack of features and support.
In its original form, OpenOffice.org was a proprietary office suite known as StarOffice and developed by StarDivision, but that all changed when Sun Microsystems bought the company in 1999.
